Terror Attack at Colorado Jewish Memorial Sparks Outrage

In Boulder, Colorado, a memorial march for the Jewish community turned into a scene of chaos when a 45-year-old man launched a violent attack using a makeshift flamethrower. The attacker, identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, disrupted a peaceful rally intended to raise awareness about Israeli hostages in Gaza. Shouting 'Free Palestine,' Soliman injured eight people, two of whom remain in serious condition.

The FBI is investigating the incident as a potential act of terrorism, highlighting the ideological motivations behind the attack. Soliman allegedly used a garden sprayer to create his incendiary device, which he wielded while shouting anti-Israel slogans. His actions have drawn widespread condemnation, with Jewish leaders and community members expressing heightened concern over the rise in antisemitic violence.

The suspect, who is originally from Egypt and entered the US on a tourist visa in 2022, has been charged with federal hate crimes. Authorities noted that Soliman had been planning the attack for over a year, targeting what he described as a 'Zionist group.' The incident, which coincided with the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, has prompted calls for increased security and vigilance among Jewish communities across the country.

This attack is part of a troubling pattern of antisemitic incidents in the United States, with recent events in Washington and Pennsylvania adding to the anxiety felt by American Jews. As investigations continue, community leaders are urging for stronger measures to combat hate crimes and protect vulnerable groups.
